FS: Old School Aquatica / Ikelite

Selling the following items as I am finally going digital:

Aquatica Housing for Nikon F100 - $125 OBO

- With o-Ring kit, eyepiece and instruction manual (no ports included)

- The housing has never flooded, and some of the controls are a little sticky. The knob for ISO is very sticky

Aquatica Manual Focus Gear #18690 - $45 OBO

- I used this with the 105 Nikon Macro lens - old style autofocus

- Comes with insert pieces for adherance to focus ring

Ikelite SS200 Substrobe - $175 OBO

- Never flooded - always worked flawlessly

- Needs new battery

- Includes old style charger

Ikelite DualTTL Sync Cords - IK 4104.62

- One used cord- never had any problems - $40 OBO

- One brand new cord for back-up - never put under water - $75 OBO

As there are probably very few film shooters left, I am willing to consider any offers for these items (as long as the offer is not ridiculous). Payment by paypal.

Hi You don't need to sell your ikelite strobe as it works with digital cameras. No ttl as the strobe is ttl and your camera is dttl. But manual modes work great. I have an old ikelite ai and 90% of the time i use 1/2 power as the digital camera picks up so much light. The strobe manufacturers want to resell more strobes so most people think they need a new strobe. On ebay there are some really good deals on strobes.

Thanks for the advice. I have wanted to use digital TTL for macro, since my feeling is that by taking the exposure issue out of the equation it would free me up to think more about composition and positioning myself - one less thing to worry about. A few people have indicated that manual exposure is no big deal. Since the two new strobes I am looking at are $1500 and I would have to buy a DTTL converter, perhaps I should give manual a try.

Hi,

Still have the aquatica housing up for sale?
